editorial approach

Editing with Empathy, Honesty, and Heart

If you’re trusting me with your book, you deserve to know exactly how I work. This page is your all-access pass to my editing process, vibe, and what you can expect from me every step of the way.

What Guides Me

I believe editing is a partnership. My job isn’t to rewrite your book—it’s to help you tell the story you want to tell, more clearly and powerfully. I approach every manuscript with curiosity, respect, and a deep love for storytelling.

I specialize in emotionally immersive, character-driven fiction. The kind of stories that linger. The kind that makes readers feel something—even if that something is “unsettled in the best way.”

Whether I’m working on a high-stakes fantasy or a moody psychological thriller, I edit with the reader experience in mind while always honoring your voice.

My Editing Style

Honest, Not Harsh

Expect direct, constructive feedback—but never at the expense of your confidence. I’ll tell you where your story shines, where it slips, and how to strengthen it.

Reader-First Perspective

My feedback considers both craft and emotional resonance. I want your pacing to hit, your twists to land, and your characters to live in readers’ heads long after the final page.

Sentence-Level Precision

When line edits are included, I aim for rhythm, clarity, and impact. I want your words to flow and your voice to shine, not get buried under grammar notes.

What You Get Back

Every project comes with more than just tracked changes. I provide:

  • A transmittal letter: A high-level summary of what I did during the edit

  • A comprehensive editorial report: Specific insights, suggestions, and areas of strength or concern

  • In-document comments: Contextual notes and encouragement throughout your manuscript

This means you walk away not just with edits, but a roadmap to move forward.

After Care Matters

You won’t get ghosted after the final file lands.

I offer post-edit support for all clients, including:

  • Clarification on any feedback I’ve given

  • A follow-up Q&A window (within reason!) if you need help interpreting notes or weighing next steps

  • Cheerleading (yes, really) as you move into revisions or launch

Have a question about a tricky comment? Want input on a revised chapter title or blurb?
Just reach out—I’m happy to help clarify and encourage, even after delivery.

What It Feels Like to Work With Me

If you value thoughtful, emotionally intelligent feedback with a side of editing nerd joy—you’re in the right place.

Authors have told me they feel seen, supported, and inspired after our work together. I bring big-hearted honesty, a sharp editorial eye, and a whole lot of respect for the story you’re trying to tell.

Sound like your kind of editor? I’d love to hear more about your project.
